Traditionally, when one thinks of art, he or she thinks of paintings and sculptures that are housed in a museum. Today, almost anything can be seen as art—even graffiti. When you apply some of the principles of design and elements of art you learned about in Week 1, you can start to see how some of these nontraditional works can be seen as works of art. This week, you will explore nontraditional art in an attempt to see these works as fine art pieces. Choose 1 artist from the following list:
- Nick Cave (Soundsuits)
- Dale Chihuly
- Vik Muniz
